In what is easily the biggest surprise of the 2014 World Cup so far, the tiny central American nation of Costa Rica has defeated mighty Italy 1-0, and will advance to the round of 16 for the first time. By beating both Italy and Uruguay, Costa Rica not only guaranteed its place in the knockout stage — it killed any chance that England, its next opponents, will qualify from Group D. England have not failed to advance from the group stage of the World Cup since 1958.
